Corporate Seminars
Are you looking to create a work environment where your employees are motivated to stay in good health? Michelle’s nutrition workshops and seminars cover a broad range of topics from food and mood, to gut health, how to eat a balanced diet or simply learning how to incorporate more vegetables into your day. All sessions are customised to suit your requirements. Whether you want a 30-minute seminar, a cooking demonstration, an interactive cooking experience, or a series of themed workshops, Michelle can provide an informative and engaging experience for your staff, community groups, fitness centre and more.
Michelle is also able to offer your employees one-on-one mini health consultations. Non-invasive assessment techniques are used including tongue and nail diagnosis, nutrition, and diet to compile individual profiles and provide advice.
The Need for Food Education
Food and nutrition seminars are an essential part of any corporate wellness program. There is a growing awareness about the value and importance of eating healthy meals. However, a significant proportion of the population do not know what that really looks like.
Through providing staff with important nutritional information and tips for healthy cooking, you can empower your staff to make wiser choices about the food they eat and support their long-term health. Let Michelle help you increase the potential for reduced absenteeism, improved productivity and focus, and greater employee morale by supporting education on healthy choices.
Seminar Topics
Food and mood
The food we eat can have a profound effect on our mood and mental wellbeing. Discover the link between certain foods and poor mental health and understand what you should be eating to help make ‘happy hormones’ and boost the body and mind during times of stress, overwhelm and poor mental health. You’ll also learn about the fascinating connection between the mind and the gut (otherwise known as the ‘second brain’) and the role of inflammation in depression and anxiety.
The happy gut
Most of us have heard about gut health and maybe know the basics… but what’s all the fuss about? Gut health is not just about digestion; how happy our gut is effects everything from our mood, brain function, sleep, weight, allergies, and immune system. Making sure we have a thriving gut is critical for everyone. This workshop offers practical dietary and lifestyle tips to nourish and support your gut microbiome, supporting good health, wellbeing, and productivity.
Support your immune system
Dis-regulation of the immune system can lead to more than a simple cough or cold. In the seminar, learn about the fundamentals of your immune response, discover symptoms and causes of low immunity and learn how to build your immune system back to full working order with the help of nutrient dense foods and daily practices.
Creating balance - on a plate
There is a lot of confusion around what constitutes a ‘healthy’ meal. In a world full of diet trends, it’s little wonder that we get lost in the noise. If you are looking for a simple way to maintain long-term healthy eating, look no further! This session will take you through the fundamentals of a balanced meal to ensure optimum nutrition, build energy, and reduce cravings.
Cooking Demonstrations – Online or in-house
Get creative in your office kitchen with our hands-on healthy food workshops. Michelle will guide you through each step, sharing plenty of nutritional knowledge and take-home tips whilst you’re busy making your culinary delights. Packed full of nutrients and full of delicious flavour but simple enough for even the most time-strapped professional to prepare.
Depending on your brief Michelle will select several recipes to be demonstrated and samples to be enjoyed by all attendees.
Boost your brain power
Research shows that the food you consume is one of the most powerful influences on everyday brain skills. Discover the effects of stress, toxins and certain foods on your brain health, concentration and memory and get smart on foods and nutrients that will sharpen your mind and your mood, stave off Alzheimer’s (and other forms of dementia), as well as diet tips and techniques to keep your brain at the top of its game.
Vege out
The importance of reaching the recommended servings of vegetables per day should not be underestimated! Eating more veggies is the number one thing all Australians should be doing to improve their health. In this session, you will learn easy, practical, and seriously delicious ways to do this!
Mindful VS. mindless eating
Untangle human need from “hunger” and food cravings. Have you ever looked down at a bag of chips you were eating and wondered where all the chips went? This is called mindless eating or distracted eating. In this session, you will learn how to become more aware of your food choices and how mindful eating benefits your body and reduces cravings.
Nourish your body, nurture the planet
Do you want to learn how to cook with a conscience, promote sustainability and improve your health through the creation of delicious plant-based foods? This session will take you through the benefits of a plant-based diet for you and the planet – what it entails, how it works and how to put it into practice including learning how to cook some delicious, nourishing plant-based meals.
Create your own!
Michelle is happy to work with you to create your own seminar or workshop. Provide a brief and she can tailor any seminar or workshop to the interests and goals of the attendees.
